Uncoliath

This is so very, very wrong.

(PS: add to your geek cred by guessing where I got the title pun from! Both sources.)

Shouldn't he be on the side of a bottle of ale or something?

Geeez!

1) 7-Up has had old advertising campaigns and slogans proclaiming it "the Uncola."

2) Ungoliant was the evil spider-shaped creature who aided Melkor/Morgoth in destroying the trees of Valinor and fled to Middle-Earth with him and the Simarils. Shelob, who will feature in the upcoming Return of the King, is one of her offspring.

RotK + 7-Up = Ungoliant + the Uncola = Uncoliath

I was thinking "uncola" + "Osgiliath" myself.
